Pocic is currently the starting center

So it looks like we paid 4.5 million to Finney to be a backup.

Well, at the rate lineman go down, that's a pretty good position to have depth at. People on here complain about the oline - then they go and make that unit as deep as possible - and people on here complain about that, too. It's almost as if - people are just looking to complain. Weird! :P

Maybe we should wait until the season starts and they have actually played, before we pass judgement. First week of training camp seems awfully early to be drawing conclusions, don't you think?

If Finney doesn't start. That makes the move to acquire him dumb as all shit. That's a lot of money to be paying for a backup. There's a 2nd round tender on him too. Does anyone know if Finney doesn't start do Hawks still have to give a 2nd to Pittsburgh?

What a mess. Hopefully he starts at LG over Iupati if not starting over Pocic.

They play hardball with Clowney to give away 5 mil to backups?

They just said they're not doing it for competitive reasons. Absolutely absurd. The NFL should mandate that every team does it and then everybody will be on a Level Playing Field. And the customers get to watch their team.

Back to the o p. If Pocic hadn't been a burning bag of dog shit since we drafted him I wouldn't be as concerned about finny not being even good enough to start over him.

Getting reps with the A team does not mean he is the opening day starter. I don't understand how you draw that conclusion.

Then what does it mean then? To be fair Pocic hasn't had many snaps at C during the season.. So we don't know how he will perform there.
